Weather system coming across from the west coast looks to hit St. Louis Thursday/Friday. Hoping it moves a different direction and we get three days of optimal conditions.

there are two different windows for the FOX network, the earlier being 2:00-4:00pm est, which i assume will be the actual live broadcast?
while in other regions the broadcast will be shown 4:30-6:30 est. (tape delayed?)..... so nhra has 4 hours to be live with the semis
at 2pm est? (1pm st. louis cst) ..... in our area the mn vikings vs. dolphins is scheduled on FOX network @ 4:05pm est.

It's all right here.

Didn't even look at the Sunday start time but same thing last year, race set a tv viewership record on Fox.

I live 80 miles SE of Madison, IL and both forecasts are similar with chances of rain and t'stms. But the big thing is a weekend cold front going from mid to upper 80's to low 70's just like the last two races. The percentage rain chances forecasted today for the weekend I won't pay attention to in this part of the country until closer to race day.
